Love that you can just calmly go into the city hall, with a doggie on a leash, and just sit and admire the stunning walls, murals and architecture. I love Basel. Everything there just works!

In the square in front of the cathedral are some of the best preserved buildings in the old town of Bern. From here there is access to the observation deck above the river. Definitely worth a visit here.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6 reviews
Approximately 1200 years ago the bishop commissioned the construction of the oldest Basel cathedral known archaeologically. The foundations of the outer crypt associated with the cathedral can still be seen today. The information point below the Pfalz can be accessed using the archaeology key (available from the kiosk in Basel Cathedral). Tip: Make an archaeological tour in Basel: The free audio guide app ,,Archaeo Tour" shows you around original sites from the Celtic, Roman and medieval periods of Basel's history.

You can also visit some kind of outer crypt which is connected to Cathedral. It is worth to see that , the same as observation desk on river.
